Early punt long put in Calvert-Lewin who couldn't convert. Distribution was generally good and didn't ever look flustered, even when put under pressure by a short Digne back-pass. Had no saves of note to make.

Seamus Coleman - 7

The Irishman was tireless in his work. He was a constant thorn in Palace's side and his recent rejuvenation continued. Wilfried Zaha even swapped to the opposite wing at half-time, which says more than I can. Wasted a late chance to cross in a good area though.

Michael Keane - 7

Solid and dependable when called into action. Stepped out with the ball when necessary and once again looks twice the player of last season. Beginning to form the kind of partnership with Zouma that could force Everton to spend big on the Frenchman.

Took a clattering off Milivojevic but never looked troubled by Crystal Palace's attack. Big, imposing and rarely put a foot wrong. Even when he did put Gueye under pressure with a sloppy pass he snuffed out the counter himself.

Lucas Digne - 6

Quiet during the first-half and an uncharacteristically sloppy back-pass almost put in Christian Benteke at the start of the second. Was not his finest game but dependable as always and oozes class on the ball.

Idrissa Gana Gueye - 8

Impressive in his usual hard-working fashion and won a couple of important tackles. Produced the running of several men in the middle and once again proved himself indispensable to this team. A stunning intervention as Kouyate broke late on summarised a man-of-the-match performance.

Morgan Schneiderlin - 6

Played several sloppy passes in the first-half. Grew into the game but too often uses the safe ball and was non-existent in the latter stages. Will be disappointed not to have built on a sterling performance against Manchester United last weekend.

Made several poor decisions during the first-half but then almost set-up Calvert-Lewin for the opener. Linked up well down the right with Coleman, though, which will please Marco Silva. Final ball and decision making both need improvement but will come with time.

Gylfi Sigurdsson - 6

Work rate exemplary as always and combined well down the right with Coleman and Richarlison at times. A quiet afternoon for the play-maker who was eventually subbed.

Showed a moment or two of trickery and hit the post after the restart. Battled tirelessly against Wan-Bissaka and Zaha, but, like so many of his team-mates, lacked a little quality at times. Lucky not to be punished after losing the ball close to Pickford's goal. Subbed.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - 6

Should have done better after finding himself through on goal early on and had another half-chance shortly after. Almost got on the end of a Richarlison delivery but it was not his best afternoon in an Everton shirt. Subbed for Cenk Tosun.

Cenk Tosun (sub, Calvert-Lewin '71) - 6 – Almost opened the scoring with a sensational back-heel minutes after coming on.
